Support grassroots music in Bath

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Bath still has 23 of them.

Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them shut for good. Those are the rooms where new acts learn to hold an audience, where a first support slot happens, and where a Tuesday night can still turn into something.

This page exists to make them easy to find. It lists 11 gigs across Bath over the next four weeks, pulled from the venues themselves and updated daily — alongside the 23 grassroots venues and 12 regular open mic nights we track in the city. No algorithm decides what you see: it is simply everything we know is on.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up above sends Bath listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you.

What's on in Bath — FAQs

Common questions about live music in Bath, answered with this week's live data.

We currently list 11 gigs in Bath between 14 Aug and 11 Sept, across 6 venues. The listings above are the full set, sorted by date and refreshed daily from the venues themselves — no algorithm decides what you see. For everything beyond this window, browse the Bath gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Bath gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Bath open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
Saturday, with 8 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Saturday: 8 gigs · Sunday: 1 gig · Friday: 1 gig. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
Right now: Prestbury Sports Bar, The Tunnels, The Wellbeing Hub Warminster. In total we track 23 grassroots venues in Bath, of which 6 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Bath venue directory.
Bath has 12 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Bath open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Most Bath venues in our listings do not publish a ticket price in advance. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Bath still has 23 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves navigate PRS licensing and local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Bath gig directory and it is verified within 48 hours. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.

Go to one this month

11 gigs listed in Bath over the next four weeks, across 23 grassroots venues and 12 open mic nights. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before — it is the single most useful thing anyone can do for a room like these.
